Weimann played the ball beautifully. 2 men up top is much more threatening, but we are well overun through the centre of midfield.

It's not two 'up top', though. Weimann's playing plum between midfield and Gabby. If it weren't Weimann in that position and was, say, Tonev nobody would be thinking it was 4-4-2 with Tonev up front. This is 4-4-1-1 like Moyes always used to play at Everton.

Looks like our full backs are finally getting some protection.

That was a very pointed celebration. No acknowledgement to the fans, just went to the bench.

Quite right too.

Well, as opening ten minutes or so go, we've had worse this season, eh?!

Westwood and Delph are going to have to really work hard to get a grip on the midfield, could us Bacuna tucking in a little more to help out I think.

Nice to see isn't it. The middle of the pitch is wide open though!

Bacuna and Lowton down the right could end up being a great combination. They can cover each other as one of them goes forward.

We're pressing as well. I don't know why we stopped pressing teams? It worked against Arsenal. Plus they're young player and should be able to keep it up all game.

This is the most 'hussle' I've seen from the team for ages, too. I think he's picked the right midfield for that, to be fair; Delph, Westwood and Bacuna all put a decent shift in when they play.
